The Suburbs of Hell

A killer is on the loose and as some locals are murdered the reader is dragged into the paranoia and fear of those that think they know, those that just live in fear and those that may or may not have reasons to kill. The layers of each chapter has one thinking about the human condition. The dark side of the psyche is revealed by some excellent writing that had me reading late into the night.

Though a cold and grim read this is a very good book. Randolph Stow: a great unknown Australian writer.
